متن کاملMeta-analysis reveals evolution in invasive plant species but little support for Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA)
Ecological explanations for the success and persistence of invasive species vastly outnumber evolutionary hypotheses, yet evolution is a fundamental process in the success of any species. The Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA) hypothesis (Blossey and Nötzold 1995) proposes that evolutionary change in response to release from coevolved herbivores is responsible for the success of ...
متن کاملIntegrating novel chemical weapons and evolutionarily increased competitive ability in success of a tropical invader.
The evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) hypothesis and the novel weapons hypothesis (NWH) are two non-mutually exclusive mechanisms for exotic plant invasions, but few studies have simultaneously tested these hypotheses. Here we aimed to integrate them in the context of Chromolaena odorata invasion. We conducted two common garden experiments in order to test the EICA hypothesis, a...
متن کاملNo Evidence for an Evolutionary Increased Competitive Ability in an Invasive Plant
We tested whether Solidago canadensis, which was introduced from North America into Europe from the 17th century onward, has evolved an increased competitive ability (EICA) at the cost of tolerance against herbivory in its new range. We grew plants from nine introduced European and 10 native American populations in a common garden in Europe. In half of the plants, we simulated herbivory by remo...
متن کاملEcological niche modeling of invasive alien plant species in a protected landscape
Non-native plants that can cause adverse effects are otherwise known as invasive alien plant species which pose a major threat to plant biodiversity conservation and sustainability. This study is dedicated to determine the plant diversity and to assess the vulnerability of Quezon Protected Landscape, Southern Luzon, the Philippines to invasive alien plant species. Data from 90 10x10 m randomly ...
